Phil Murphy recognizes NJ’s taxes are already sky-high, but he refuses to slam yet another planned tax increase on NJ families.

When asked by CNBC if he supported increasing the tax rate to upwards of 50% for many New Jersey residents, as planned by President Biden and Democrats in Congress, all Murphy could come up with was:

“I think my chances of becoming a U.S. Senator are low.” – Governor Phil Murphy

Watch

“Phil Murphy will never stand up for job creators and families if it means bucking Democrats’ D.C. tax hike,” said RGA spokesman Will Reinert. “People cannot afford a 50% tax rate in one of the most expensive states in the country, and Murphy should be ashamed for his refusal to slam Washington politicians’ moves to make even harder to get by in New Jersey.”
